Racial gaps without racism: How English universities frame inequality in access and participation plans

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Racial inequalities are pervasive in higher education despite concerted efforts to redress issues of access, progression and continuation. Little attention has been paid to how universities themselves construct race within their policy texts.

Bird strike on aircraft radome: Dynamic characterisation of quartz fibre composite sandwich for accurate, predictive impact simulations

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2018
This study assesses the bird strike resistance of the satellite communication (SatCom) radome of a medium altitude, long endurance (MALE) remotely piloted aircraft system (RPAS), which is designed as a lightweight sandwich structure with thin quartz ...

Longitudinal Analysis of Strike Activity [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper presents evidence on two aspects of strike activity associated with the renegotiation of union contracts: the effects of contract characteristics on dispute probabilities; and the effects of lagged strike outcomes on the incidence and duration

USING BIRD STRIKE DATA TO MONITOR BIRD-HAZARD CONTROL [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
An effective definition of a bird strike is the basis for quantifying the scale of bird hazard problems. Here we present a working definition of a bird strike, which in turn forms the basis of an analysis of 32 years’ data collected at Dublin Airport ...

English teachers' journeys since the 2020 Iteration of Black Lives Matter

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The 2020 resurgence of Black Lives Matter (BLM) mobilised students in England to demand greater representation of racially minoritised voices in English curriculums—a call highlighted by stark inequity: just 1.5% of GCSE texts studied are by racially minoritised authors, despite racially minoritised students comprising 38.0% of the student ...

Impact damage modelling of composite aerospace structures subject to bird-strike

open access: yes, 2006
One of the key aerospace design and manufacturing criteria that needs to be effectively foreseen and withstood is medium velocity impact conditions enforced by foreign object impacts, mainly bird-strike events.

Tackling cancer stemness with nanotechnology in the era of precision medicine

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
Precise customization of nanoparticles (NPs) enables active targeting of cancer stem cells (CSCs), thereby improving drug delivery and therapeutic efficacy. NP‐based probing enhances CSC detection through imaging and liquid biopsy, whereas diverse therapeutic payloads improve therapeutic outcomes.

OA to bird strike data

open access: yes, 2009
Last month the US Federal Aviation Administration floated the idea that it should stop providing OA to bird strike data.  The idea was that keeping the data secret would encourage airlines and airports to report it.  But the agency made a mid-course correction when its proposal was hit by a barrage of public protests, including a protest from the ...

Animal empathy reconsidered: a multidimensional profile account

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Empathy is the glue that holds societies together and yet several fundamental questions about empathy persist. What is empathy (the definitional question)? Is it uniquely human and, if not, which nonhuman animals possess empathy (the distribution question)? Which type or quality of empathy is realized in different species (the quality question)
